Description

The invention relates to a camera carriage with a chassis and a vertical used to adjust the height of the camera len lifting column, consisting of an outer, on the Fahrge put supported column part, one from this telescope like extendable middle column part and one of its extendable from the middle part of the column, the camera load-bearing central column part, as well as between the column part len stored, the mutual column guide Roll, with the middle and inner column part an drive device for telescoping these column parts right relative to each other and to the outer column part.

Such a camera carriage is known from DE-C-32 36 837. Regarding the lifting column construction of this camera dolly  reference is made to DE-C-33 22 677. This camera dolly has Found in practice. The telescopic lifting column le is carried out by means of a cable drive. This has ever been but as extremely complicated and inefficient and ge highlighted noisily, so that the well-known camera dolly no longer meet the requirements of filming these days enough. In addition, the well-known rope pull stands out expelled by not inconsiderable elasticities, which ent talking movement delays and spring-back effects have as a consequence. These can be requested from those nowadays high speeds and accordingly high acceleration Inclination and deceleration values of the lifting column movement are not more accepted. The high design effort for the Lifting column drive device of the known camera carriage can can best be seen from FIGS. 2 to 5 of DE-C-32 36 837.

From GB-A-20 58 716 it is known to telescope the Lifting column of a camera dolly with a hydraulic drive perform. However, this has none for other reasons Found its way into practice because of the lack of leaks to be avoided and also due to the risk that at impermissibly high pressure hydraulic lines or connections can burst. For this reason, a hydraulic drive for the lifting column according to GB-A-20 58 716 from practice rejected.

Finally, from US-A-22 24 901 it is known the Teles copying a lifting column consisting of only two column parts le using a spindle drive. An easy one Transfer of this drive to a lifting column with more than two column parts, in particular at least three column parts, is not easily possible, especially not according to the in the specifications described and shown in US-A-22 24 901.

Based on the known prior art, this is available  underlying invention the task of a camera dolly to create the type mentioned, the lifting column itself through a robust, reliable, low-noise and bewe excellence in construction, for this purpose u. a. the basic idea of a spindle drive according to the US-A 22 24 901 is taken up.

This object is achieved by the characterizing Features of claim 1 solved, advantageous constructive details and developments of the invention in the Subclaims are described, some of whose characteristics also regardless of the measures according to claim 1 application can find, i.e. ver with camera trolleys of the known type are reversible, e.g. the features according to claims 16 ff.

The construction according to the invention provides with regard to the stroke column and in particular the lifting column drive a clear one Progress over the state of the art, although also It is surprising that despite the use of leadership role len parallel to the walls of the column parts axes the distance between the walls of adjacent column parts can even be kept smaller than in the construction according to DE-C-33 22 677, although referring to this there the construction according to DE-C-32 36 837 is not possible has been held. In this context, also must be considered be that in the roller guide according to the invention roles can be used, the diameter of which is even larger than the diameter of the guide used in practice roll in the embodiment according to DE-C-33 22 677. This advantages achieved over the prior art are possible Lich by the arrangement of the roller axes both the between outer and middle column part as well as between middle and central pillar part effective leadership roles in same radial distance from the geometric lifting column-With tenaxis, i.e. between the outer and middle part of the column  on the one hand and the central and central column section on the other effective leadership roles lie along an imaginary, about circular circumference alternately and nested to each other the, and preferably such that the first-mentioned Füh Rollers on the outside of the column wall of the middle Column part and the latter guide roles on the Roll off the outer wall of the central column section. This execution Form has the advantage that the guide roles in the Telescoping of the lifting column always covered on the outside and accordingly before environmental, especially weather influences, are protected.

Finally, the dimensions are of particular importance took according to claims 9 to 12. camera dolly with a arranged on the chassis, the height adjustment of the Camera serving vertical lifting column and one on the hub double pivoted about a horizontal axis arm arm, on one arm a platform with a Support for the camera and possibly for a camera man seat is attached and on its other, the weight balancing by means of counterweights arm roughly the same a distance from the horizontal swivel axis extension rod is articulated, the free end of which on the chassis attacks is known per se. With this well-known camera with four wheel arms on the chassis around vertical axes are pivotally mounted, is on two adjacent wheel arms a cross bar connecting them, screwed in the middle te the connecting rod is articulated to the boom. With Hil fe this boom, referred to as "jib" in specialist circles the platform with the camera support and the cameraman seat by extending the lifting column by approximately twice the height increase the difference in relation to the stroke of the lifting column or by lower swept. The camera's freedom of movement is however by the aforementioned fixation of the connecting rod to the the crossbar connected to the wheel arms on the chassis.  

Because the boom does not twist with respect to the column is possible, the camera dolly together with the Boom can be rotated. Through the measures according to the claims Chen 9 ff, the boom including the lifting column around it Turn the longitudinal axis. It is a comparison in this regard state of the art to an extremely elegant and light solution to be handled, the rotary movement preferably with means of a separate drive is accomplished.

Below is a preferred embodiment of an invention properly trained camera dolly based on the attached Drawing explained in more detail. Show it:

Figure 1 is a schematic side view of the camera dolly with the lifting column extended and retracted to provide a general explanation of the overall structure of a camera dolly of the type in question here.

Figure 2 is a vertical section through the lifting column in the drawn state and on an enlarged scale.

Fig. 3 shows a cross section through the lifting column according to Figure 2 un ter representation of the lifting column cross-sectional profile and the lifting column linear guides. and

Fig. 4 is a camera carriage supplemented by a boom in a schematic side view with a half-extended lifting column.

The camera carriage shown schematically in FIG. 1 has a chassis 1 with support arms 67 , 68 pivotable about vertical axes 65 , 66 , at the ends of which are arranged bearings for pairs of wheels 71 , 72 pivotable about vertical axes 69 , 70 . An essential part of the camera trolley is the vertical lifting column 2, which serves to adjust the height of the camera (not shown in FIG. 1 ), the outer column part 3 supported on the chassis, a telescopic telescopic central column part 4 and one that can be extended out of the central column part 4 inner or central column part 5 comprises. At the upper end of the central column part 5 , a cantilever arm 73 is rotatably mounted on which the camera can be attached. On the other hand, a support joint 74 with a support arm 75 for a cameraman seat 76 is mounted on the outer end of the cantilever arm 73 . Accordingly, the cameraman takes part in the lifting and lowering movements of the camera, which considerably facilitates camera work. In this regard, however, it is a known construction, as z. B. is described in DE-C-32 36 837. With the reference numeral 77 , a cylindrical receptacle is marked for the determination of the camera, not shown. A swivel brake assigned to the cantilever arm 73 is identified by the reference number 78 .

The lifting column 2 is in the illustrated embodiment rotatable about its geometric center axis on the chassis 1 ge. The corresponding pivot bearing between the chassis 1 and the outer column part 3 is formed by a slewing ring 33 , consisting of a bearing ring 34 connected to the chassis 1 on the one hand and a bearing ring 35 on the outer column part 3 , on the other hand, via which the lifting column on the chassis can be fastened in such a way that the lifting column 2 together with the slewing ring 33 can be removed if necessary. In this way, the entire lifting column 2 can be dismantled. The lower part of the lifting column or the outer column part 3 is arranged sunk inside a pot-like receptacle 42 of the chassis 1 , as in detail in particular Fig. 2 he knows.

A preferred embodiment of the lifting column 2 will now be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

Accordingly, the column parts 3, 4 and 5 are each formed as a hexagon profiles, and mounted to prevent rotation against each other to form the lifting column 2 , the rotation protection on the one hand by the cross-sectional profile of the columns parts 3 , 4 and 5 and on the other hand by the closer linear guides to be written is guaranteed. As in particular Fig. 3 can be removed, pass the column parts 3, 4 and 5 each made of hexagonal profiles, wherein between the individual column parts of mutual Säulenteilfüh tion serving rollers 6 are supported 7 and the middle and inner or central Column part is assigned a drive device for telescoping these column parts relative to one another and to the outer column part. The Antriebseinrich device comprises a double spindle arrangement, consisting of a central, upright and rigidly connected to the outer column part 3 support tube 8 , at the upper end of which a spindle nut 10 corresponding to the central column part 4 is fastened, and one at the upper end of the central column part 4 arranged, with the central column part 5 cor responding spindle nut 11 , the central column part 4 divided into an up and down within the outer column part 3 but rotatable section 12 and a relative to it rotatable and coupled to a rotary drive 13 coupled section 14 is which the latter corresponds to the spindle nut 10 arranged at the upper end of the central support tube 8 on the one hand and via the spindle nut 11 arranged at its upper end to the central column part 5 on the other hand. For the last-mentioned purpose, the central column part 5 comprises a tube section 123 which dips into the central support tube 8 from above and which has a spindle thread 27 formed on the outer circumferential surface and corresponding to the spindle nut 11 . The two above-mentioned spindle nuts 10 and 11 are each connected via vibration and noise insulation layers 79 , 80 with the support tube 8 and the rotationally driven section 14 of the central column part. In order to enable the rela tive movement between the central column part 4 and the star ren support tube 8 , this has at least one, in the present case three evenly distributed over the circumference arranged longitudinal recesses 15 through which radial support arms 16 extend, at the radially outside of the support tube 8 lying ends of the non-rotatable portion 12 of the central column part 4 is fastened, while at the radially inside the support tube 8 , the end with the interposition of a rotary bearing, here Kugella gers 17 , the rotary drive section 14 of the central column part 4 is connected. The three holding arms 16 are rigidly connected to one another by forming an integral holding star 103 , the aforementioned ball bearing 17 being positioned within the support tube 8 between the rotationally driven section 14 of the central column part 4 and the holding star (see FIG. 2). The rotary drive 13 for the arranged within the central support tube 8 section 14 of the central column part 4 comprises a central torsion bar 18 , along which the rotatably mounted section 14 of the central column part 4 is rotatably supported with rotation, namely via a cross-sectional profile, here a square profile , accordingly trained sleeve 19 , on the outer circumference of the inner ring of the aforementioned ball bearing 17 is seated. The outer ring of this ball bearing 17 is positioned within a central opening of the retaining star bearing the outer section 12 of the central column part 4 . The lower end of the torsion bar 18 is coupled to a gear 20 which is rotatably mounted within a at the lower end of the outer column part 3 on flanged gear housing 81 (Ku gellager 82 , 83 ). The gear 20 meshes with a drive pinion, not shown in Fig. 2, which is connected via a power transmission shaft, in particular cardan shaft, with an electric motor attached to the outer column part 3 .

Furthermore, the gearwheel 20 which is coupled to the torsion bar 18 and which is preferably helically toothed meshes with a pinion 21 . This is geared (cardan shaft 31 , gear 84 , toothed wheel 85 and toothed belt 86 , power transmission shaft 87 ) with an encoder 23 , which, like the aforementioned electric motor, is mounted on the outside of the outer column part 3 . The encoder 23 is part of the control device for the lifting movement of the lifting column 2 . On the same shaft there is an electromagnetic brake 9 , which takes effect in the event of a power failure or the intention to switch off the lifting motor by blocking the lifting column double-spindle arrangement via the power transmission shaft 87 , toothed belt transmission 84 , 85 , 86 , cardan shaft 31 and pinion 21 . The connected to the encoder 23 power transmission shaft 87 still includes a bevel gear 30 which is provided with a bevel gear 29 brought into operative connection, by a forth attachable external hand crank against the action of an elastic element, in particular a helical compression spring 88th The bevel gear connection 29 , 30 represents the essential part of a hand crank device 22 , by means of which the lifting column 2 can be moved or retracted manually after a power failure. Furthermore, the power transmission shaft 87 connected to the encoder 23 is coupled via a toothed or V-belt drive 89 to a power take-off 24 , which comprises a fine-thread spindle 90 and a spindle nut 91 which can be reciprocated along this axis and which is connected to the diametrical ends of the fine-thread spindle 90 Arranged limit switches 92 , 93 correspond to the effect that after actuation of these switches, the telescoping of the lifting column 2 is ended when the upper or lower end position is reached. In addition, the fine-thread spindle 90 are still induction switches 94 , 95 assigned, which are each upstream of the two limit switches 92 , 93 and accordingly take effect before actuation of these limit switches to the effect that braking of the telescopic movement of the lifting column 2 takes place. In this way, shock loads are avoided when the upper or lower end position of the lifting column 2 is reached .

The aforementioned propeller shaft 31 is characterized by two flexible couplings 96 , 97 . As a result, unavoidable misalignments or tolerances can be compensated for without vibration.

Finally, the fine-thread spindle 90 and / or the associated spindle nut 91 can be coupled with a path or Hubmeßein direction, so that the exact stroke position of the column 2 can always be recorded and tapped for the purpose of regulating the up and down movement of the lifting column.

So that the central and central lifting column part can be telescoped relatively to one another and relative to the outer column part equally, the spindle nut corresponding to the upper end of the support tube 8 res, corresponding to the outer lateral surface of the rotary section 14 of the central column part 4 formed spindle thread 26 right continuously while the kor with the fixed to the rotary-driven section 14 of the center pillar portion 4 spindle nut respondierende, formed on the outer surface of the central tubular portion 123 screw thread 27 left-handed, or in each case vice versa, wherein both spindle thread 26, 27 preferably each have the same pitch . It would also be conceivable to choose a smaller pitch for the spindle thread 26 , with the result that the stroke of the central column part is smaller relative to the stroke of the central column part.

In order to prevent the lifting column 2 from unintentionally moving apart during transport, a transport lock is also seen before, specifically in the embodiment shown in the form of a locking bolt 28 extending through all the column parts 3 , 4 and 5 in the retracted state of the lifting column, which in can be moved back and forth in the radial direction, namely from an unlocking position into a locking position and vice versa (see double arrow 98 in FIG. 2).

In order to avoid excessive impacts when reaching the upper or lower end position of the lifting column 2 , the central and central column part each have elastically flexible shock absorbing elements 99 , 100 and 101 , which in the lower and upper end positions of the lifting column 2 with corresponding stops or Stop surfaces on the bottom flange 102 of the outer column part 3 , on the aforementioned retaining star 103 or on the upper limit of the longitudinal recesses 15 in the support tube 8 correspond.

In particular, Fig. 3 can be seen that between the individual column parts 3, 4 and 4, 5 , three units 43 , 54 of guide rollers 6 , 7 are arranged evenly distributed over the circumference, the guide rollers 6 , 7 on axes 50 and 51 extending horizontally and parallel to the walls of the column parts 3 , 4 and 5 are rotatably mounted. The rollers 6 and 7 are parallel to the column walls extending guideways 56 , 57 net, preferably in the form of highly polished stainless steel bands. Between the guideways 56 , 57 and the associated Säu lenwalls an elastically flexible intermediate layer 58 and 59 ( Fig. 2) is arranged for the purpose of noise reduction and play compensation.

The rotary bearings 60 , 61 or axes of rotation 50 , 51 of the guide rollers 6 , 7 each have at least one roller unit 43 or 54 between the outer and middle as well as the middle and central column part can be adjusted radially and with regard to their angular position or inclination to the column wall (adjusting screws 104 or 105 and lock screws 106 and 107 ). The radial Ver adjustability of the mentioned axes of rotation 50 and 51 is indicated in Fig. 3 with the double arrows 108 and 109 . Incidentally, the roller units 43 , 54 each on the outer column part 3 or middle column part 4 mounted bearing blocks, the arrangement being such that the rotary bearing 60 of the effective between the outer and middle column part guide rollers 6 on the one hand and between the middle and central pillar part effective guide rollers 7 on the other hand at approximately the same radial distance from the geo metric central axis 110 of the lifting column 2 , that is alternately and ver nested along an imaginary, approximately circular circumference, the first guide rollers 6 th on the outside of the column wall of the middle column part 4 (guideways 56 ) and the last mentioned guide rollers 7 roll on the outer wall of the central column part 5 (guideways 57 ). In the execution shape corresponding to FIG. 2 are the rotational bearings 60 between the outer and middle column part effective guide rollers 6 in the gap 62 between these two column parts, ie bezo gene on the pillar wall of the outer pillar member 3 offset inwardly, while the pivot bearing 61 of between the central and central column part effective guide rollers are arranged approximately in the plane of the column wall of the central column part 4 , preferably with respect to this slightly radially outwards, so that the radial distance of all pivot bearings or axes of rotation from the geometric center axis 110 of the lifting column 2 almost is equal to. The result of this arrangement can be seen from Fig. 3 very well, after which the effective between the outer and central column part guide rollers 6 on the one hand and between the central and central column lu effective guide rollers 7 on the other hand are alternatively and nested to each other. In this way, an extremely slim design of the lifting column 2 is obtained, surprisingly even slimmer than the construction according to DE-C-33 22 677. Due to the nested arrangement of the guide rollers 6 , 7 and their pivot bearings 60 , 61 extend to each other the leadership roles len 6 , 7 inevitably through each of the pillars supporting them, the bearing on the pillar wall of the outer Säu lteils 3 guide rollers 6 or their pivot bearings 60 are so far radially inward that the guide rollers 6 do not have the Protrude outside the column wall of the outer column part 3 (see Fig. 3).

Each unit 43 or 54 of guide rollers or each associated bracket comprises two pairs of guide rollers 6 and 7 arranged one above the other at a distance. In this way, a high level of management stability is obtained. The guide rollers 6 and 7 are each formed by ball bearings with a reinforced race, which is a measure known per se. The bearing race is preferably crowned with a large radius.

As can finally be seen in FIG. 3, box-like containers 111 are fastened to the outer sides of the outer column part 3 , within which the electric motor for the lifting movement, an electric motor for the rotating movement of the lifting column to be described, the hand crank device 22 together with the encoder 23 with brake 9 and power take-off 24 and rechargeable batteries are mounted. Below the box-like container 111 is still arranged over the circumference of the lifting column and with the outer column part 3 step grate 112 ( Fig. 3), which is at the same time designed so that it can slide the camera carriage or disassemble the column from the base dare 1 can be gripped well by hand.

Regardless of the, but especially in combination with the design features already described, the rotatable mounting of the entire lifting column 2 about the geometric center axis on the chassis 1 is of importance . Corresponding to Fig. 2, the lifting column pivot bearing is formed by an inter mediate chassis 1 and outer column part 3 arranged turntable 33 consisting of a bearing ring 34 connected to the chassis 1 on the one hand and a bearing ring 35 attached to the outer column part 3 on the other hand, the two bearing rings can be dismantled if necessary. An axial and radial ball bearing 113 and 114 is arranged between the two bearing rings. The turntable 33 shown in Fig. 2 is not easily removable in itself. Rather, the entire ring gear 33 is connected to the outer pillar part 3 as a structural unit and ge connected to the chassis 1 via the bolted to the chassis 1 associated bearing ring 34 (screw 115). Accordingly, the entire lifting column, in which Ausführungsbei game of FIG. 2 is detachably connected via said screw connection 115 to the chassis 1 of the camera carriage with the lower part of the lifting column 2 hineinerstreckt in the assembled state in the aforementioned receptacle 42, which is preferably sleeve- or is formed like a pot. In the embodiment of FIG. 2, the measure 42 is formed without a bottom, ie open towards the bottom. The lower part of the lifting column or the outer column part 3 extends through this opening, in particular the gear housing 81 flanged to the bottom thereof. In this way, the overall center of gravity of the camera carriage is shifted towards the floor. Accordingly, the stability of the camera dolly increases.

The additional advantage of the described pivot bearing of the entire lifting column 2 can be seen from FIG. 4. The camera carriage shown schematically in FIG. 4 is distinguished from the camera carriage according to FIG. 1 in that a bearing 49 for a two-arm boom 44 is arranged at the upper end of the central column part 5 . The bearing 49 comprises two side plates 48 , between which a horizon tal axis 45 for the pivotable support of the boom 44 extends. At one arm 46 of the boom 44 is articulated to a vertically extending support member 116 which is held by an extending parallel to the arm 46 guide rod 47 regardless of the pivotal position of the boom 44 in its vertical position. On the holding member 116 , a carrier 117 is provided for a platform 118 with an associated pivotable support 52 for mounting the camera and a cameraman seat. The diametrically extending to the arm 46 other arm 53 of the boom 44 has at its free end a balance weight 119 on which arms preferably variable and / or in the direction of the boom 53 and is back herverschiebbar. Approximately at a distance from the horizontal pivot axis 45 corresponding to the distance between this and the vertical holding element 116 , a connecting rod 55 is articulated on the arm 53 , the lower end of which is attached to the rotatably mounted outer column part 3 or to the bearing ring 35 of the turntable 33 connected to it closed so that the boom 44 can be pivoted ver both about the horizontal pivot axis 45 and about the lifting column center axis, the pivoting about the lifting column center axis taking place together with the lifting column 2 . Accordingly, both the camera and the cameraman seat can be brought into any vertical and horizontal position within the constructionally specified limits without the camera having to be moved for this purpose. The connection of the connecting rod 55 to the outer column part 3 zugeord Neten bearing ring 35 of the slewing ring 33 is indicated in Fig. 4 with the reference numeral 36 .

As also already stated at the beginning, the lifting movement of the central and central column part is preferably spring-assisted, in particular by gas pressure springs 37 acting between the outer and central column part, on the one hand, and gas pressure springs 38 acting on the other hand between the central and central column part. Preferably, three gas pressure springs 37 and 38 , respectively, are arranged which are distributed uniformly over the circumference. The arrangement of the gas pressure springs 37 , 38 can be seen in FIG. 2.

According to FIG. 4, the rotatably mounted lifting column 2 is still a rotary drive is associated, the output shaft is provided with a pinion 40, in particular in the form of an attached to the outer pillar member 3 and within a container 11 flanged electric motor 39, which is connected to a chassis-fixed, especially on the chassis-side bearing ring 34 of the Hubsäu len-ring gear 33 connected ring gear 41 meshes. Of course, it is also possible to attach the drive 39 to the chassis 1 and to arrange the ring gear 41 on the outer column part 3 . The first described construction is, however, less expensive. The electric motor 39 is arranged diametrically to the connecting rod 25 in the embodiment from FIG. 4.

Accordingly, Fig. 2 is also arranged an adjustable brake 64 on the outer pillar part 3, which co-operates under more or less strong braking of the Drehbewe supply to the chassis 1, namely here with the mounted on the chassis 1 bearing ring 34 of the lifting column 2. For this purpose, the bearing ring 34 has an upper ring flange 120 against which a disc-like brake pad 121 is more or less strong bar. A manually operated adjusting screw 122 is used to press the brake pad 121 .

All features disclosed in the registration documents are claimed as essential to the invention, insofar as they individually or in combination compared to the prior art are new.
